are the 3 paragraphs correct in English? Thanks for reading this and wish you have a nice day!
Although the king thought much of appearance, he hated hair-cut. Every time the cut hair was wrapped with a piece of yellow silk, which is to cherish the hair of the 閳ユ竸ragon閳?
The king was very superstitious all his life. He asked for divination before going out every time, only for a very, very good fortune he should go out.
This is a very modernly equipped washroom at that time. On the east side, there is a bathroom, and the west is the toilet. Many legislations of the SNOW state were read by the king on the lavatory. The king had never written NO, he only wrote YES, READ ALREADY, and GOT IT on the documents.
Would any English help me with this?
Well, it's not bad but there are a lot of errors that make the point difficult to understand in places. Primarily you display problems with article use and tense of verbs, which are common errors for speakers of another language (I have the same problems when I write or speak in French)
Although the king thought much of (his?) appearance (use his at that spot if you mean his appearance only but leave as is if you mean appearance of people in general), he hated HIS haircut (or do you mean hair style?). (I don't know what you want to say for the next sentence, what do you mean? That he wrapped his hair in yellow silk after it was cut or that he (usually or normally or always) wore his hair in a yellow silk cloth because that means "cherish the hair of the dragon")
The king was very superstitious all his life. He would always ask to have his fortune told when he planned to go out, and he would then only go out if the fortune was very, very good.
Next paragraph first sentence, I am not clear what you mean. Maybe: The king had a bathroom (I suppose you could use washroom here) that was very modernly-equipped for the time. The bath (?) was located on the east side and the toilet on the west side.The King frequently reviewed the legislation of the SNOW (here you may use the untranslated word for SNOW because it is a proper name) state while on the toilet (or maybe, a lot of the legislation was reviewed by the King while he was on the toilet). The king never wrote "No" on the documents, only "Yes, read already" or "Got it".
You need to understand that everyone has a particular writing style, so the changes I offer are not the only possibilities, just those which are in my style.
And yes, I would also rewrite that last paragraph. The second sentence doesn't seem to fit; it seems that you wish to show how his bathroom was modern for the time but that is not what is described. Otherwise the sentence doesn't fit with anything else in the paragraph. I do not have a problem with continuing the paragraph with the description of how he used the bathroom for performing his duties as King.

It's very hard to understand this text.
In the first paragraph, you should say "he hated haircuts" or "he hated this haircut", anything but simply "hair-cut". Haircut doesn't need a dash in the middle. The second sentence is very confusing. Are you trying to say "every time a hair was wrapped with a piece of yellow silk it was to cherish the hair of the 'dragon'"? I'm not sure about that.
The second paragraph is not so bad. The first sentence is O.K.. Maybe the second sentence would be better if you ended it with something like " . . .only going out if he was going to have a very, very good fortune".
The third paragraph I have no idea what you are trying to say! I think you need to start over with that one. The first two sentences are pretty obvious, something about a bathroom. But then you go back to the king and some kind of legislation, and I don't know what that has to do with the bathroom.
Paragraphs should be the expansion of one train of thought. If the paragraph is about the kind reading legislation in the bathroom, then you should start with that idea because it is the most important. The description of the bathroom should come later because it is not as important.
Does your reader know what a SNOW state is? If not, then you need to define it. I certainly don't know what it is.
When you write that the king wrote things like NO and YES, rather than capitalizing them, put them in quotes. Such as: The king had never written "no", he only wrote "yes, read already" and "got it" . . . " I would also recommend against using the word "read". In this context it is confusing because the word "read" and its past tense are spelled the same. At first I thought you were saying that the king was telling someone to read it, not that he had read it. Maybe you could say "yes, seen already" or "yes, I have read it".
Good luck!

This is a very modern and well-equipped washroom of that time. At the east side, there is a bathroom, and at the west is the toilet. Much of the legislation of the SNOW state was read by the king on the lavatory. The king never wrote NO; he would only write YES, READ ALREADY, and GOT IT on the documents.
